Columbia Capitols prepare for field

The Columbia Capitols will be taking the field under new direction from first year head coach Willie Offord for the 2014 campaign. Last season, the Caps went 4-8 with a second round playoff loss to Cheraw. This season, the new coach knows they have a tall task to get the program back to its winning ways.

“We are a very inexperienced and young football team,” said Offord. “We are rebuilding a tradition rich program in our area and we will accept the challenging process one step at a time week to week.”

The offense will have a new look this year, running the flexbone and coach Offord has five returning starters to help get it rolling.

In the offensive skills positions, senior running back Kimone Shaw returns along with junior running back Quin Carolina. Only one wide out returns in senior Wayne Brown.
